Sign up for the second Palestinian embroidery workshop of 2025 in Cordoba. Join us at this event, where we will be helping contribute to the creation of a collaborative work. We will be expecting you on March 8 at “Recoveco,” the workshop run by artist Almudena Castillejo. SOLD OUT.
In March 2025, we will be organizing new tatreez workshops in Cordoba, as part of the project “Threads of the Diaspora,” under the title “Embroidering Dreams of a Palestinian Garden” with the support of the AECID, in order to work on embroidery together for the Palestinian cause.
At the workshops we will be collectively embroidering “Dreams of a Palestinian garden” free of debris, in pieces of a garden that we will connect to the central panel of the Palestinian dress from Gaza that we are creating with the pieces that we made during the autumn workshops, along with the ones that you have sent in to us from home.
Each participant will be given one of the 20 pieces of the rolling garden that will be hung from the panel and the embroideries of “Threads of the Diaspora” containing different motifs designed by the Spanish-Palestinian teacher and artist, Maysun Cheikh Ali Mediavilla, who will be giving the workshops, with the cooperation of Begoña Castillejo (Recoveco). At these workshops, those participating will take part in embroidering these pieces until the full collective work has been completed. It will then be exhibited along with the Gazan dress panel at Casa Árabe.
The workshops/meetings will be held on Saturday, March 8. The second session, which you can sign up and pay for on this website, will last from 11:30 a.m. to 13:00. Those who have already taken part in prior workshops can come and start embroidering right away. For those who are coming to learn how to create this embroidery for the first time ever, there will be a theoretical presentation (15 min) on tatreez in Palestinian history and culture, its regional variants, dimensions and meanings, as well as holding a practical embroidery session.
This program is supported by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID)
